Sign Ups for TRSB21 Now Open!

[narya_flame]

 

For those who don't know already, this is a Tolkien-fandom-wide event celebrating the talent of our fanwork creators. Participating artists create artworks to be claimed by one of our signed up authors. Authors will then write a 5k word fic based on the art they chose.

 

• Sign up as a writer here. Writer signups are open until May 21st. You can only claim artwork if you are signed up as a writer.
• Sign up as an artist here. Artist signups are open until May 9th.  (NOT the 99th, please ignore our Tumblr sidebar on this one, we’ve tried to amend it but it appears to be a sentient being with a will of its own.)
• Sign up to beta here, to cheerlead here, to treat here, and to pinch hit here.   Explanations of what all of these mean can be found in the relevant section of our FAQ.  Signups for these roles will not close and will get you access to the gallery; however, you must be signed up as an author to claim.
• Want to suggest a prompt to our artists? Our suggestions form will be open until May 14th.
• Want to see what others have already suggested and get hyped with us? Check out our handy spreadsheet.
• Questions? Come and visit our shiny new website, which has our FAQs and timeline all set out. 

 

Please be sure to familiarise yourself with the rules before signing up :) 

We are open to all characters, genres and ratings, and all canons that fall under the Tolkien fandom umbrella. This includes movieverse (i.e. the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies), lesser known works by Tolkien (such as The Father Christmas Letters), and/or other works with a clear link to his life or creative output (for example, Tolkien's translations and academic texts, the 2019 Tolkien biopic, fan-made films like Born of Hope, and game canons such as The Lord of the Rings Online). Crossovers between two or more Tolkien canons are permitted.

We hope you're as excited as we are! We can't wait to see what you make.
